Encounters with Aliens on this Day

December 13

1954 - Three gray discs performed acrobatics over farmland in
Campinas, Sao Paulo state, Brazil at dusk. One peeled off from the
others, diving low over the roof of a woman's house, where it dropped a
liquid substance "like silver rain." Chemical analysis revealed that the
metallic material collected at the site was 90% tin with some other
alloys. Jacques Vallee believes this case may provide clues to the
propulsion system employed by the vehicles. (Source: Jacques Vallee, in
Peter Sturrock, The UFO Enigma, p. 242).

1959 - A brilliant cone giving off flares descended into the
ocean near La Orchila Island in the Dependencias Federales chain of
islands belonging to Venezuela. The witnesses were three crewmen
aboard the ship SS Dorthemaersk. After the object submerged the sea became
brilliant with many bright colors and very turbulent at that spot.

1961 - At 5:05 p.m. over Washington, D.C. three people
witnessed a sharply defined diamond-shaped object that had a
brownish-orange glow centered beneath it in a diamond shape, one-third the
total size of the object. It pulsated rapidly and made no sound. The
sighting lasted three minutes. A Project Blue Book unexplained case.

Washington, DC - 1961

1965 - On this night Sr. Jaime, the police commissioner's son in
Estacion Palavecino, Entre Rios province, Argentina was blinded for
a while and unable to speak as result of the close encounter he had with a
spherical UFO that changed colors in front of him. (Source: Oscar A.
Uriondo, FSR Case Histories, December 1973, p. 18, citing La Razon,
December 14, 1965).

1966 - At around one o'clock at night In a rural area of Rowley,
Massachusetts an orange-red glowing oval object with a halo of
light around its perimeter descended and approached two witnesses before
silently going behind a road embankment. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler,
UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, p. 343).

Rowley, Massachusetts - 1966

1966 - At 3:53 p.m. Mrs. Elsie Vargo and her daughter were out
driving the delivery of newspapers in rural Strongsville, Ohio when
they saw a low flying "batwing" shaped object cross the road at 100 feet
altitude and about 100 feet away. It then turned toward them, terrifying
the girl. It was about the size of an automobile and bright silver in
color, with a bubble cupola or dome on top. It carried an antenna bearing
a flashing red light. Inside the dome was a small human form dressed in
black and wearing a helmet. Mrs Vargo did not see where the object went.
It made no sound and there was no interference with the car's radio.

Neff, Cleveland Ufology Project).

1967 - At 2:00 a.m. near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the
lights of a car dimmed and the motor sputtered. The driver pulled to the
side of the road and opened the hood. He then noticed a dome-shaped object
hovering 150 yards away. It was metallic, had lights around the edge,
and was about 50 feet high. He felt the battery of the car  it was
warm. He got back in and watched the object, which rocked back and forth
10-15 feet but stayed over the road. During the next hour the car body
began to heat up and even his hair got hot. His flashlight also wouldn't
work. Finally the object shot straight up and disappeared from view in
two to three seconds. The headlights came back on, but the motor could
only be started with difficulty. (Sources: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports
Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 39, citing CUFOS; Richard Hall,

1971 - A young man, T. McClintock, was walking home
from a late evening piano lesson when he saw three red pulsating lights
over the shore in Muchalls, Scotland. One of the lights
seem to follow him. The light swooped very low, almost at ground level,
and he then saw a figure dressed in a long robe in the middle of the road.
It seemed to be glowing and blocking the road. When he stepped one yard
towards the figure it suddenly vanished. He then ran the rest of the way
home, frightened and totally confused. (Sources: Ron Halliday, UFO

SPI, May-June 1989).

1973 - Three 16-year-old boys saw a silver disc hovering 20 feet
over the Braden River in Florida. It extended a tube into water.
They took two photographs of the UFO. The UFO then retracted its tube
while making a clanking sound, buzzed their car, and changed colors from
bluish-green to reddish-orange. Three odd rocks, about a half inch in
diameter, of iron pyrite were found near the site. Later that night in
Cabana Colony, Florida Mr. & Mrs. McGhee saw a flying object as
big as a 4-5 houses, that dipped down behind a neighborhood gas station,
changing colors from yellow to orange to red. It stayed around for awhile,
according to the couple. (Sources: (1) St. Petersburg (Florida)

1977 - At 11:00 p.m. an orange-red, disc-shaped object descended
over a paddock in Leitchville, Victoria,Australia. It then
emitted three smaller objects that operated independently. One of these
zigzagged, abruptly shot up to higher elevation, then descended again. The
UFOs appeared to signal back and forth. Soil and grass samples collected
from a circle of burnt grass found on the ground reveal the burn marks
were caused by an electrical discharge. No electrical power lines are
located near the paddock where the ground traces were discovered. The
sighting lasted 30 minutes. (Sources: MUFON UFO Journal, March
1978, p. 6; Adelaide News, December 15, 1977; Bill Chalker, The
Oz Files, p. 163; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A
Thirty Year Report, p. 415).

1977 - An unexplained animal mutilation was discovered this day
in Blue Springs, Missouri. A calf had been killed and mutilated
with surgical incisions. The right ear and tail had been removed. (Source:
Richard Hall, Zetetic Scholar, 1980, p. 50, citing Blue Springs
Examiner, December 21, 1977).

1978 - Shortly after two people saw a luminous mass
descend close to the ground and then take off at high speed towards
Puglia, Italy two soldiers on guard duty at the Brindisi
Air Force Base saw a UFO with pulsating lights maneuver and hover near
them. As the object was leaving a strange being shot up from the ground
skywards, quickly disappearing from sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales,
Humanoid Contact Database 1971, case # 2351, citing Edoardo Russo).

1978 - UFOs were seen for thirty minutes over several cities in
Chaco province, Argentina on this evening. In Resistencia a
newspaper photographer took a nighttime photograph of a UFO that changed
color several times as it flew toward the south-southwest. (Source: Jane
Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, March 1979, p. 14, citing La
Razon, December 13, 1978).

1979 - Two helmeted humanoids in silver suits were seen near a
factory located between Lan Xi and the Xim An River in Zhejiang province,
China. They were 200 meters away, and stood beside a highway. They had
square objects like boxes and "thermos bottles" slung over shoulders.

1995 - On this morning near the Urbanizacion Country Club, Rio
Piedras, Puerto Rico Mrs. Carmen Vazquez, accompanied by her
5-year-old daughter, was on her way home when the little girl pointed out
something in the sky. Looking up she saw a shiny metallic oval shaped
craft flying slowly overhead and head off towards nearby El Yunque
Mountain. According to the little girl, the object had numerous windows
and inside she was able to see several gray-colored figures with huge
black eyes looking down from the windows at their car. (Source: Albert S.
Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1995, case # 2571, citing Jorge Martin,
Evidencia OVNI, issue # 9).

2000 - At 9:45 p.m. a man driving on the Mount Lindsey highway
in MacLean, Queensland, Australia saw eight lights about 200 meters
away pacing his car. He stopped, and when he did the lights also stopped
moveing. Each light was 10-20 meters across and round in shape. They
followed him silently for eight kilometers, and when he arrived home he
was quite scared. (Source: Sheryl Gottschall, UFO Research Queensland
website, archived reports for 2000).

2000 - The witness awoke at 3:55 a.m. in Lake LaBerge, Yukon,
Canada to find her bedroom lit up by a series of flashing lights
outside her bedroom window, which were accompanied by musical tones. She
had headache throughout the next day. (Source: Geoff Dittman, UFO Research
